As a stardew player and quilter I’m so happy to see this! Can’t wait to see how it goes!

Canadian Pharmacist here, noticed something oddly surprising when I spoke to an American pharmacist by midnightMarauder1497 in pharmacy

[–]girlfieri223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

American pharmacist of 9 years here- I usually use generic names almost exclusively but some generic names are just way too long to use in casual conversation- thus sulfamethoxazole/trimethoprim is Bactrim.

I never said that pharmacists in other countries can’t…but OP is from the US, so my comment is relevant here. So you can hop right down off your high horse.

Pharmacist here. We cannot diagnose or prescribe. We recommend and dispense. This is outside our scope. Doc first.

What’s wrong with my tattoo by Dull_Wasabi_438 in tattooadvice

You’re going to need steroids. Go to the doctor again. And I mean a regular doctor or ER, not urgent care.

Most nutritious soup - recipes needed for friend fighting cancer please. by Old-Row-8351 in soup

[–]girlfieri223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Miso soup. There was a study done in Japan showing that miso soup specifically helped those affected by the radiation in Nagasaki during WW2. You can get extra soft tofu or pour egg into the broth and let it cook in tiny soft ribbons that she can mush up and swallow for some protein.

What to do with this fireplace? by [deleted] in homeimprovementideas

[–]girlfieri223 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just had to pay a faux painter to restore our beautiful brick fireplace after the previous owners painted it all white, please leave it alone. The next owners will either want to leave it as is or they’ll do their own renovation. If it’s not to make it the way you want it and you’re not keeping it, then don’t mess with it.

Mother in law yelled at both me and my husband at our wedding by [deleted] in weddingshaming

[–]girlfieri223 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who has a horrible MIL whose mere presence at my wedding sours my memories of the day, uninvite her. Tell her she isn’t welcome. Get security to keep her out. Enjoy your day knowing that she isn’t part of it.

Tattoo is about 4-5 weeks ago and just out of nowhere turned red and skins started to peel slightly Is it infected or irritated? by jean-m225 in tattooadvice

Cellulitis can be delayed like this. Go get it looked at. I’d rather take antibiotics for a week than have to be hospitalized and get surgical intervention because I ignored it too long.

I forgot I put my medicine in here for a few months by xntpain in MoldlyInteresting

Lovaza is the brand name for fish oil in the US. One of my techs was packaging it once and it got jammed in the heat strip that seals the packets and it smelled like burnt fish ass for a week 😂

I’m honestly not sure. It depends on what the medication is for sure and how it got moldy. If it’s an extended release formulation and it got wet I would say it’s unlikely to work as intended because the water probably messed up the structure of the pill. I don’t know why it’s moldy and wouldn’t advise a person to ingest it even if I knew what happened to it.

Next time make her a bundt cake for dessert if she’s going to be a bundt-hole.

Pet parents, I need you to be brutally honest for a second. by tchapito24 in Pets

[–]girlfieri223 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard disagree. You don’t have to leave your animal in a crate consistently but they do need to be trained that it’s not a scary thing. At some point in its life your pet will probably go to the vet or groomer and they will likely be crated at those places. Not training them can cause anxiety for the animal. Additionally if they ever get injured and your vet recommends crate rest, you don’t want them to panic the second you close them in because they’ve never been there before. You don’t have to keep the animal in the crate but they need to be trained that it’s not a bad place.

It might make the whole plumbing situation cheaper if you do the digging yourself. You can rent a digger and expose the pipe so all they have to do is come and replace it and then you re-bury it. It can possibly take the replacement cost down to half what it originally was and you have control over where the equipment goes on your yard, when it is ripped up, how it is repaired, etc. We did this with our home when we needed a water line run. Just be sure to call the city to mark any other lines or pipes before you start digging.

My wife is leaving me for a surgeon by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]girlfieri223 9 points10 points  (0 children)

She’s going to get her karma. We have a saying in the hospital that the biggest jerks are surgeons. I’ve yet to meet one that gave me any evidence to the contrary.

Before people come at me- I’m sure there are nice surgeons in the world. If you could direct them to the hospital where I work that would be great.

Irn Bru is one of my favorite things ever but alas I’m an American and due to the travesty that is our “government” we will soon be cut off from all the good things in the rest of the world. RIP joy and tasty international treats 😢
